Coleoptem, Part II. 217 



lobes, with a median notch, the outer lobes slightly wider than the 

 inner ones, sides feebly decreasing in width from apex to base, and 

 very feebly elevated; punctures as on head. Eli/tra subquadrate, 

 with a wide transverse, irregular depression near base; each side 

 of scutellar region feebly elevated within the depression, and sub- 

 opaque; each shoulder in the form of a conspicuous epaulette, con- 

 cave internally above the depression ; a feebly notched process 

 close behind each epaulette; middle behind the depression longitu- 

 dinally and o])liquely striated, rest of upper surface and the epis- 

 terna with net-like punctures. Similar punctures on pygidium and 

 propygidiuni. Prosiernuin and mesosfernum, with net-like punc- 

 tures. Metasternum with a moderately deep median line, continued 

 to base, but not to apex; and, as also the abdomen, with distinct 

 but irregularly distributed punctures. Four front legs of moderate 

 length, their tibiae with flanges, which, from some directions, ap- 

 pear to regularly increase in width from base and apex to middle, 

 which appears rather acutely dentate; hind legs very long, their 

 tibiae of very different sliape to those of the others. Length, 3 mm.

Allied to iiiaeqiial/s and longipes. To the former species at first 

 it appears to be very close, but the hind til^ae are very different. 

 In the present species they are wide foi- the greater portion of 

 their length, with the upper edge gently rounded off, and the 

 obliquely cut off apex not far fx'om perpendicular. In /'naequalis 

 the apical slope is much longer, and the whole tibia is considerably 

 narrower, the apex of the prothorax is also not exactly the same. 

 f.onf/ipes has much longer hind legs, and is otherAvise very differ- 

 ent. In sending the specimen, Mr. Cox wrote that it was extremely 

 active, a character strikingly at variance with tlie other species 

 of the genus. l)ut Mr. W. du Boulay. who has recently taken a 

 specimen, wrote tliat it was (|uite slow in its movements. 



C/il(init/(/opsis inaequalU. Blackb. (Plate XXII., Fig. 8.) 



A hind leg of the type of this species is figured for comparison 

 with that of the preceding species. 



Chlamydopsis sern'rollis, n.sp. (Plate XXII.. Figs. 2, .'5, and 4.) 



Black, subopaque; legs of a rather dingy castaneous. Each 

 epaulette, with a conspicuous golden pubescent membrane pos- 

 teriorly, and with a few stout golden setae.
